CALGARY — Suncor Energy Inc. says operations have ceased at its oilsands base plant near Fort McMurray, Alta., after a temporary power loss Wednesday afternoon.
Company spokesperson Erin Rees would only describe the cause of the power loss as a “process upset” but says power was restored as of Wednesday night.
Rees says she cannot provide more detail because it’s a “day to day operational issue.”
She says the incident does not impact the safety of the company’s employees or contractors.
